<br> "FAITH, HOPE, LOVE"
|
|
<br>I. "WORK OF FAITH"
|
|
<br>A. There are many who think that these two entities are mutually exclusive.
|
|
<br>1. By grace are ye saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is a gift of God not of works lest any man should boast.
|
|
<br>2. Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
|
|
<br>B. So often as Paul is speaking of works he is re...

<br> I. THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY OR LAWLESSNESS.
|
|
<br>A. Lawlessness is rebellion against authority.
|
|
<br>1. Manifested in children today.
|
|
<br>2. Manifested in adults.
|
|
<br>a. Watts rioting.
|
|
<br>b. Ministers defying law (not a good law).
|
|
<br>B. Rebellion against God's law.

<br> "The Word of God"
|
|
<br>I. PAUL SPEAKS OF HIS THANKFULNESS THAT THEY HAD RECEIVED THE WORD OF GOD FROM HIM.
|
|
<br>A. The Bible is the word of God and is to be held in high esteem.
|
|
<br>1. In Psalm 138 God said that He would honor His word above His name.
|
|
<br>2. Jeremiah said if a prophet has a dream, let him tell his dream, but he that has My word, let him speak My word faithfully, what is the wheat...

|
|
<br>A. In verse 2 Paul tells how that he was so concerned that he sent Timothy back to them from Athens in order that he might establish and comfort them in their faith. We need to be established in our faith, if we are established in the faith we will be comforted in any and all adverse circumstances.

<br> "THE RAPTURE"
|
|
<br>Intro: Some who ridicule idea of rapture, they say the word "rapture" not in the Bible. Greek word "harpazo" translated "caught up" means "to be snatched way by force".
|
|
<br>In Latin it is "raptus". So the word is in one of the oldest Bibles in existence, the Latin Vulgate.

<br>I. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE RAPTURE AND THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS CHRIST.

<br>I. THE SORROW OF THE THESSALONIANS
|
|
<br>A. The reason for the sorrow.
|
|
<br>1. Some of those in the fellowship had died before the Jesus returned so they thought that they were going to miss out on the glory of living with Him in the Kingdom.
|
|
<br>2. They were sorrowing because of their ignorance of the plan of God.
|
|
<br>B. They were sorrowing as those who have no hope.

<br>A. As concerning our loved ones who have died.
|
|
<br>1. They will share in it.
|
|
<br>2. Thus our sorrow for them not, as those with no hope.
|
|
<br>3. The Lord will bring them with Him when He returns for us.

<br> "CHILDREN OF THE DAY"
|
|
<br>Intro. Paul closed the previous chapter talking about that glorious day for the church when the Lord shall come for the believing saints to rescue them from the wrath of God which is coming upon the earth. It is interesting to me that what is often referred to as the judgment of God is God simply releasing the restraints and allowing man to follow the path to ...

<br> "GOD'S WILL FOR YOU"
|
|
<br>I. THIS IS A COMMON CONCERN.
|
|
<br>A. One of the most often asked questions of sincere believers, "How can I know God's will?"
|
|
<br>B. It is a correct concern.
|
|
<br>1. We, each of us, should be asking, "What does God want me to do?"
|
|
<br>a. Paul's first question upon recognition of Lordship of Jesus, "Who art thou, Lord?"
|

<br>C. What is God's will for you?

<br> "GIVING THANKS"
|
|
<br>I. "IN EVERYTHING GIVE THANKS."
|
|
<br>A. We like to paraphrase the scriptures.
|
|
<br>1. In most things give thanks.
|
|
<br>2. In some things give thanks.
|
|
<br>B. This scripture opposes my human nature.
|
|
<br>1. Some things I want to complain about.
|
|
<br>2. I often have a legitimate reason to gripe.
|

<br> "GOD'S WILL FOR YOU"
|
|
<br>I. "THIS IS THE WILL OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS CONCERNING YOU."
|
|
<br>A. I believe that the one question that is asked most often by sincere, committed believers is, "How can I know the will of God for my life?"
|
|
<br>1. When this question is asked I think that people are wanting to know what career God is wanting them to follow.
|
|
<br>2. Perhaps where God wants them to live.
